To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The idea is simply to deduct enough from the sales of each package to run the business. Most of the money for operating exchanges of this kind is pro- vided by deducting from the sales a flat tax, based on the number of packages handled. For example, the California Fruit Exchange charges a tax of 5 cents a box on all oranges and lemons sold. Another set of growers charges a flat tax of 1 cent a pound on all almonds handled. Still another exchange levies i/4 cent a pound on all prunes, raisins, ...etc. This amount, in all cases, has been found sufficient to carry on the business of the exchanges and still have a work- ing surplus to carry them through into the next season. When this surplus reaches a certain amount it is then returned back pro rata to the members of the exchange. The people who promoted these exchanges first se- cured the backing of three or four extensive growers in their neighborhood who were willing to advance $500 to $1, 000 to get the organization under way. Then the exchanges are effected in the following way: Promoters will visit the orchardists of each section, ex- plain the plan to them, show them in what ways the profits are returned and that there is no money to be put up until there is something to be sold.
